Haesso 03-01-08, 10:48 AM	This is he first time I, or my group for that matter, will be applying a template to a character, and I had a question about the Lich HD. It says all current HD become d12 in the MM, so I was wondering if that meant a level 15 wizard with 15d4 HP becomes a 15 wizard at ECL 19 with 15d12 HP? Am I interpreting this correctly, or does it have some other meaning?

He was a better tank than the barbarian he initially partnered with. First words to the second barbarian he was assigned to work with: "I hope you last longer than my last half-orc." :D
